I took a couple of accounting classes back in college and it just wasn't clicking.
that is why there is high demand for CPA because nobody like the idea of counting.
There were a lot of nymex/comexfloor traders (energy and metal)

Great question Maverick...clearly someone with a brain. I graduated college in '09. I have worked for my father in investments and insurance part time for like 5-6 years and full time sales for 1.5 years...I am a good people person but I refuse to cold call because it simply doesn't work. I am completely self-taught when it comes to trading so being breakeven after 18 months is actually very good...I am just getting impatient and would like to start making money so instead of forcing things with trading, I am considering alternatives for now and maybe come back to trading when I can do it right, nice and slow.
so you worked in "investments" for years and you have ZERO idea how to trade???? breakeven after 18 months is horrible, unless you live in your mom's basement with zero expenses. to refuse to cold call means lazy.....you just don't want this bad enough, which is why you failed.

Ok let's take it one by one. You are either a child, a moron, or just pathetic if you think there is ANY connection between trading and investing. Seriously? That's like saying apples and oranges are the same because they are both a fruit. Next, if you are a trader, you would know that breakeven is actually pretty good after 18 months. Most likely you are not a trader and are just taking a moment from your porn to give me your 2 cents. I'm good you can keep that to yourself and finally, DICK, you have no clue who I am or what I have or have not accomplished in my life. There are LOSERS that dwindle away their lives, friendships, and health hoping to become a millionaire. I, unlike you have some semblance of a brain and realize that MAYBE trading is not for me and am looking for some possible alternatives.
So, do us all a favor and get lost. Those naked midgets need to perform for someone so get going.

trading is definitely NOT for you.....you failed and are the 90%. way to make your "investing" friends proud. not smart enough? likely. emotional? yes. and you think making money will ruin everything? that is a good mentality to have when you are a slave to a boss. there are no possible alternatives for you, except go back to school and pretend you know something, then fail at something else.

You used the words Trade, Investing, and Cold calling in your previous post. None of which have anything to do with the other. You also come across as being unnecessarily harsh. Therefore, I will throw harsh right back at you. You obviously don't know what the hell you are talking about, and I hope the OP takes that into account.
Come on, guys. We were all new at one time.

See if you can reconcile your statements. I'm not referring to your obvious slip up of 12 months versus 18 months, but to your sentiment about being breakeven. Is breakeven after 12 or 18 months "actually pretty good" or "isn't going so well"?
My original point which you couldn't grasp is that "breakeven" is really not breakeven. Let me put it this way: How much in commissions did you pay over the 12 or 18 months? I know you couldn't grasp college accounting so I told you to go ask your daddy who can lend you some business perspective in assessing your performance.
My initial sense was you probably didn't "breakeven," i.e., cover your commissions with your trading, and you are bullshitting yourself and the people around you. However, after reading your posts, I am open to the possibility you are just too dense to know that you actually lost money.
In either case, looking to get out of trading is probably the smartest thought you've had in a long while.
